Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Iberian escape

See Lisbon and the palaces of Sintra on a self-guided walking tour with Inntravel. The trip includes two nights at the Hotel Solar do Castelo in the Portuguese capital and two nights at Lawrence's in Sintra – the oldest hotel on the Iberian Peninsula. The price of £355pp, for travel between 29 March and 30 April, includes breakfast. Flights and rail transfers extra (inntravel.co.uk).

Seasonal sojourn

From 29 March to 1 April, Gravetye Manor – a 16th-century Elizabethan hotel and gardens in West Sussex – is offering a two-night Easter package for £350pp. It includes bed and breakfast, dinner on both nights, an Amedei egg made by master chocolatier William Curley, and entrance to the National Trust house and gardens at Wakehurst Place, sister property to Kew (gravetyemanor.co.uk).

Turkish delight

Thomas Cook is offering a week in a cool, coastal hotel in Turkey for £475pp. The package includes accommodation with breakfast at the Hillside Su Hotel, which has all-white rooms, a huge pool and a beachfront location outside Antalya, conceived by Turkish designer Eren Talu. The deal includes Thomas Cook Airlines flights from Manchester on 30 March (thomascook.com).

Mountain high
